UrbanBaby Asks...
Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

depends what you expect from her. btdt. same ages. she can prob manage but your house wont be kept tidy. kids will not be going to museums, etc, but hopefully get out for a walk in the afternoon. she may need to put on dvd for toddler when babies are in need of feeding etc. as long as your expectations are reasonable shld be fine. and btw i did try 2 nannies, was a bit of a disaster.
[ Reply | More ]it depends how much you want naps protected. If you don't care if everyone naps on the go, misses naps etc., fine. But if you like your kids on a stricter schedule, I would get a second p/t person to pick toddler up at school and stay at home for nap time so nanny can take others to park/classes etc., so like 12-4 each day.
[ Reply | More ]yes, but you need to be realistic. there may be times you come home and one (or two of the kids) are crying while she tends to one (changing a diaper, etc.). Or she has 2 in front of the TV so she can care for 1 of the dcs (changing, feeding, etc.). She can only do so much, and you have to be ok with that. Signed a nanny who cared for 3 under 3 (1 with special needs).
